New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic had 11 points in 33 minutes in Saturday's loss to Indiana. He added three boards, one assist, and one steal. The veteran sharpshooter, who was dealt by the Pistons on Thursday, made his first appearance as a Knick. While he struggled shooting the ball, going 3-for-10 from the field and 2-for-6 from downtown, fantasy managers were thrilled to get him back in the lineup. At any rate, it will be tough for Bogdanovic to receive the same amount of work once Julius Randle (shoulder), OG Anunoby (elbow), and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) return. Yet, he'll still have a place in the rotation, keeping him relevant for fantasy managers in most formats.

Charlotte Hornets guard Vasilije Micic debuted for his new team on Saturday versus Memphis. The 30-year-old rookie was traded from OKC on Thursday. He looked fantastic in his first appearance with the Hornets, logging 26 minutes off the bench and finishing just one assist shy of a double-double. Micic, who made a name for himself overseas, averaged only 3.3 points and 2.5 assists in 30 games with the Thunder this season. However, he could have already earned himself a regular spot in the rotation, even when LaMelo Ball (ankle) is ready to return. While Micic has a way to go to prove his value to fantasy managers, he's worth adding in case he stays hot moving forward.


Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) was cleared to play in Saturday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The All-Star ended the night with a double-double, amassing 22 points and 12 assists. This type of production is what fantasy managers have come to expect from Haliburton this season. However, he missed time with a hamstring issue and hadn't played 30 minutes since before getting sidelined. At any rate, the 23-year-old could continue to make sporadic appearances on the injury report moving forward. But barring a setback, Haliburton should remain active on Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets.


New York Knicks guard Alec Burks debuted with his new team on Saturday versus the Indiana Pacers. The former Piston came off the bench in this one. Although Jalen Brunson was unequivocally the game's top producer, Burks scored 22 points in just 22 minutes. The Knicks moved on from Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes, so a stable ball handler to support Brunson was desperately a need for New York. Without question, there's a spot for Burks in the rotation. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect this type of production, at least not consistently, moving forward.


New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) was available for Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. After the All-Star tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, he didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Dallas Mavericks. But he was back in the lineup for the meeting with Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. While New York couldn't pull off a win, Brunson picked up right where he left off before going down with the ailment, finishing with a game-high 39 points. He struggled from deep, going 1-for-5, although he made all 10 tries from the charity stripe. The 27-year-old continues to get it done for fantasy managers, and he's now averaging 34.3 points in February. Barring any issues with the ankle, Brunson should be in the lineup for Monday's clash with the Houston Rockets.
